Turn to Thorn Law Group for assistance with complex tax cases, including matters pertaining to Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), IRS and DOJ criminal investigations, voluntary disclosure and more.

IRS Voluntary Disclosure – Is the Program Right for Me?

If you are responsible for paying taxes in New Hampshire and also have investments held in offshore accounts, you must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) if the aggregate total of your accounts exceeds $10,000 at any point in a calendar year. It doesn’t matter if one account had $2,000 and another had $8,500. The aggregate value refers to the combined amount of all your foreign accounts. This is a rule that many taxpayers overlook, with good reason because it can be very difficult to decipher the language used on offshore account disclosure laws.

Unfortunately, if a taxpayer fails to report their offshore accounts, they may incur severe IRS fines, along with civil and/or criminal charges. However, because honest mistakes can be – and often are – made when filing taxes, the IRS created the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) to encourage taxpayers to disclose foreign accounts while also allowing for reduced penalties.

Still, not everyone can qualify for the OVDP. The program is limited to taxpayers who have “unwilfully” failed to report foreign bank accounts and who are not already under investigation by the IRS. Several other criteria must be met, which is why it is vital for any taxpayer in New Hampshire with offshore accounts to consult with an experienced tax attorney.

At Thorn Law Group, we are committed to helping taxpayers avoid severe IRS penalties. Led by Managing Partner Kevin E. Thorn, our firm performs a thorough review on each client’s tax and foreign account history to determine whether the OVDP or another option is the best choice.
